Pale honeydew meets vivid green in this showpiece bag.
Simple and stylish, it goes with everyday summer outfits.

Essentially made with 2 disks and 1 strip seamed together (plus
handles), it’s easy and fun to make. Leaves are worked
separately and then sewn onto the bag. Felt lining makes the bag
sturdy and non-stretching. No specific sewing skills are needed.

Disks are worked in the round in a continuous spiral without
closing off the round with a slip stitch. Place a stitch marker in the
last stitch of each round and move it up as you work. Side strip
and handles are worked flat; make beginning chs loosely. If
needed, use a crochet hook 0.5mm bigger to make beginning chs.
